I wrote in my last post about how the light works so it
seemed that talking about some basic dark principles would be helpful as well. By
understanding the principles of each, you can better navigate through life and
make better life choices.

Win/Lose

One major difference about the light in the dark is the
concept of the win/win versus the win/lose. Think of a traditional deal with
the devil or a demon and in order to get what you want, you must always
sacrifice something you really ideally would not want to lose like your soul,
or your life. Sign on the dotted line to receive wealth, fame fortune, and the
girl (or boy) and in exchange you relinquish your soul and die after ten years.
Contrast that with the light principles which state that there doesn’t have to
be a loser. Not only is there not a winning side but you don’t have to sacrifice
something you want for something else you don’t want. When you work with the
light, it is possible to achieve goals and help others in the process. As you
do well you can help others more, plus you get to keep your soul – major bonus!

Illusion and Deception

The light is about illumination and the truth. The dark is
about deception and illusion. As things are illuminated, whatever is being
hidden is revealed. Whenever you are dealing with an individual that is
deceptive or a situation where there is a lot of illusion, it is likely that
there is a lot of darkness there. To hide or deceive is not light. Healing and
releasing happens when we see the deception that is there and move forward. The
dark wants you to be in the dark and not know what is really going on. In life
there is much illusion and as we spiritually evolve, we learn to see past the
illusion to the truth even in the darkness.

Destruction

Just as the light creates, the dark destroys. Notice I did
not say good and evil. Sometimes in order to create, we need to have some
destruction (an old building is torn down to make way for the new for example).
That said, widespread destruction is not usually helpful. Often times, we are
guided to release rather than destroy in order to make way for the new. It is
possible for us to release with being destructive. For example, when a
relationship has run its course, you may simply choose to let the relationship
go rather than destroy it. Ask the angels for help clearing and releasing in a
helpful way and creating the new.

Punishment Versus
Healing and Understanding

The dark principles are punishment and suffering like the concept
of “an eye for an eye” versus healing and understanding. There is a big
difference between demanding that someone is punished for their actions rather
than helping them understand why that action is not good. I prefer restorative justice
which helps the perpetrators of crimes understand the damage they did. It is
much more effective than simply punishing. When you punish without helping
someone understand why it’s a bad idea to do that action, no healing happens.
The energy of punishment is about spreading suffering rather than learning and
healing. Do you prefer to spread the energy of love through healing or pain and
suffering?

Of course this is all a simplification. In life there are
many gray areas however hopefully these help you think about things in a
different way. There are other light and dark principles but this is a great
start. I’ll be talking about other principles in later articles.
